Silver Lustre. Made by many Staffordshire firms, sometimes copying traditional silver designs.

Thanks TC, yes I see what you mean about the copying.  Are there quite a few about then?  I don't think I've seen many others recently.........in the charity shops etc.

Neither have I Sue, but I do remember seeing a lot of these when I was a child. They seemed to be very popular in the sixties and before. Think they went out of fashion after that.
